Bradley obviously wants to make a lot of extra zeros on his paycheck fighting a Floyd or Pacquiao. Let's face it, both would handle him quite easily. Pacquiao would bludgeon him. Mayweather is bigger, craftier, faster, sharper and more experienced. Bradley needs to handle his business at 140 first

Bradley, Berto, Maidana, and Alexander are very tough opponents for Pacquiao. That's why Bob Arum is avoiding to make a fight with them. He just want to maximize Pacquiao's popularity to earn more money! Arum would just feed Pacquiao with opponents who have a slim or no chance of winning! Pacquiao will knockout Cotto again! Mayweather will suffer the same faith, that's why he chickened out! Greatest pound for pound coward of all time, Floyd Mayweather!Comment

Bradley needs to clean out his division, including Devon Alexander, before calling out PBF or Pac. Maybe if Bradley KOs Khan, Pac can do a revenge fight.Comment

Shaw is wrong. NO ONE KNOWS WHO HE IS! (unless you follow boxing).
I have a few friends who casually follow boxing and the only fighters they know are pac, floyd, and paulie malignaggi. The only reason they know paulie malignaggi is because of his unique name. Same thing with Martinez. I told them that floyd may fight martinez for the middleweight championship and they said "is he any good??".
Lets be honest no one knows these guysComment

Promoters Bob Arum and Gary Shaw recently went back and forth in this space on the subject of a possible Timothy Bradley-Manny Pacquiao fight. Arum, Pacquiao's promoter, was asked if Bradley would be a viable opponent for Pacquiao should a fight not get made between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. [Click Here To Read More]Comment

I'm glad that he's mentioned that he realizes that he has some work to do before Pac or Floyd will see him as a good choice of opponents, because he clearly does. If he can get by Alexander, Berto and an elite WW like Clottey, then I don't see why not. Of course that's much easier said than done, so its only a matter of time before the world sees if Timmy is ready!Comment

Well in all fairness if we hold Pac to the "Mayweather Standard" then he is ducking Bradley. ( I dont think he is really ducking him) But I remember floyd not fighting a guy name Margarito for the same exact reason and he was called a duck. Even though marg was a nobody and fighting him didnt make sense just like a Pac-Bradley fight wouldnt make sense floyd was a duck and a coward. So i have to call Pac a duck who is afraid of Bradley. (once again I dont believe either pulled a duck move but lets be fair here)Comment

Let's accept for the sake of argument that Bradley is as worthy as Clottey was to face Pacquiao for a decent payday. If you were Bob Arum, would you want to share the proceeds with Shaw over a Pac-Clottey level of income or would you rather do it on your own by using a similar-level in-house fighter, to whom you also happen to have a responsibility as a promoter?
The fact is, Shaw and Bradley are still on the outside looking in, bitchin' about Arum not throwing them a piece of the Pacquiao pie. And they will remain that way until Bradley becomes too big to ignore.
Also, Shaw is doing the exact same thing of refusing to grant an outside fighter (Nonito Donaire) the chance to earn a decent payday against his own cash cow in Darchinyan. The reason is not even because the fighter is undeserving, but just pure pettiness and fear on his and his boxer's part.
Hypocrisy at its best!Comment
